(CBS/AP) MADRID – The lawyers for an elderly Spanish woman who made global headlines when she botched the restoration of a fresco of Jesus Christ say she has no interest in a cut of the tourism windfall her work has brought her northeastern Spanish town. But the attorneys are gearing up to put a stop to potential copyright violations of what she created – even though she had not set out to create anything at all. “We want to put some order to this anarchy,” said Antonio Val Carreras Rivera, one of her lawyers. “You do this little by little under legality, and our job is to coordinate to prevent third parties from profiting. We are at the beginning now, we can’t say if she has rights.” The church fresco in the town of Borja was for decades a little-known piece of religious art by a minor Spanish artist. Following the disastrous touch-up, revealed in August, it has found a new fate as a global icon – used to sell products around the world. The fresco depicts Christ with a crown of thorns before crucifixion, in a style style known as “Ecce Homo” (Behold the Man). It stood in peaceful obscurity in the Misericordia Sanctuary since its creation in 1930 – until Gimenez, a longtime devotee of the work, decided it needed to be rescued from flaking caused by...

The egg artillery barrage ended when the attackers ran out of ammunition, 울진출장안마 at which point they moved in for hand to hand combat, reports CBS News correspondent Mark Phillips. Watch: Violence Erupts in Ukraine Parliament The agreement, reached last week by the two country’s presidents in a clear sign of Russia’s renewed influence in Ukraine, extends the fleet’s lease by 25 years after the old lease expires in 2017. Former President Viktor Yushchenko adamantly tried to move Ukraine out of Moscow’s shadow and closer to Western Europe during his five years in office. But his successor, Viktor Yanukovych, who took office in February, is more favorably inclined toward the Kremlin. The extension outraged Ukrainian nationalists who regard the fleet’s presence as tantamount to Russian occupation. “This is a permanent threat to Ukraine’s territorial integrity because the Black Sea Fleet is the outpost of the Russian state in Ukraine, which is conducting anti-Ukrainian policies and financing anti-Ukrainian projects. In general, this is the work of (Russian) special services on Ukrainian territory,” said Igor Derevyanko, one of several thousand demonstrators who gathered outside the parliament. The voting session was unruly even by the Ukrainian parliament’s notoriously freewheeling standards. Opponents of the measure threw eggs at parliament speaker Volodymyr Lytvyn as he opened the session and he spent much of the rest of it shielded by an umbrella held by an...

ISLAMABAD — U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo arrived in Pakistan on Wednesday at a time when relations between the two countries have sunk to a new low.

Authorities in the eastern Caribbean island of St. Lucia have quarantined a cruise ship after discovering a confirmed case of measles aboard. Dr. Merlene Fredericks-James, the island’s chief medical officer, said Thursday that the ship is still in port and that no one has been allowed to leave it. “Whilst in our ports, we will continue to monitor and will not allow disembarkation, given the contagious nature of the disease,” she said in a statement provided to CBS News, adding that the ship was free to leave St. Lucia if it chooses.
